The arid landscapes of Cabo de Gata are a major ecological attraction in Almería. Contrasting dramatically with the volcanic inland mountains, the shoreline is composed of sand dunes and salt pans. It is also the leading wetlands in the Almeria province.
As you travel, pause briefly at the Cabo de Gata lighthouse.
Journey to the Amoladeras Visitor Center for a deeper understanding of the park's rich biodiversity, geological history, and conservation efforts.
In the picturesque village of Níjar, catch a glimpse of authentic Andalusian culture. Níjar is renowned for its whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and vibrant artisanal traditions — particularly in ceramics and textiles. Enjoy some free time to explore and perhaps shop for local crafts.
Return to the ship, ending a day filled with natural beauty, cultural heritage, and local charm.
Notes:
Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
